Casualties of War: Lane Furniture Mfg. Abruptly Ceases Production
Brandon's War on America is already producing casualties, like the 2,700 hard working Americans that JUST lost their jobs today.
When hyperinflation hits, durable goods like furniture are going to be almost immediately impacted, as people make due with the old shit, because they can't afford new, or are afraid to spend for fear of job loss themselves. https://theconservativetreehouse.com...-text-message/ Quote:

Wow. I use to have to do the trade show in Tupelo, MS twice a year and passed by their mfg. plants there. They are probably one if not the last furn. mfg. in the USA. Most everything else is imported.

Sometimes there are posts that are just so ****ing stupid that the 100s of possible replies all collide in my head and I just decide to let the poster step in to the tar pit and get stuck. They'll die of their own stupidity.

Mississippi and North Carolina? I've worked NC. The place isn't exactly renowned for high paying jobs. Probably a casualty of the new increased minimum wage laws. Couple that along with inflation and I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did.
Buying new furniture isn't exactly a mandatory requirement of life so raising product prices would have only meant a quicker demise. The chair I'm sitting in right now is ~25 years old. Have a new one handy but why switch over before this one bites the dust? Not going to happen. |

Just before Christmas too; I had to lay off 80% of my company's division in Maryland once two weeks before Christmas in the 90s. The US gov't just flat out canceled the contract during budget games.
I hated being in management at the time, at least I dismissed people with individual sit downs with each employee and even found some of them other work elsewhere - didn't do it with a damned text message. As to STS business advice; his chief business is troll - no experience required. |

You're being kind Dan. Seeing 2,500+ people losing their job right before the holidays is no time for schadenfreude, but some can't help in their callousness. This company fired the CFO/CEO and VP of sales back in June, so something was obviously amiss among top management. Hopefully those folks laid off can pick up in a similar industry, but it won't be easy as the economy continues to contract. |
